IndoChine Waterfront Restaurant
Cambodian, Laotian and Vietnamese food get a glamorous spin with the famous IndoChine group. Amid a magnificent view of Boat Quay and Empress Place, and a slightly OTT setting with trimmings like crystal chandeliers, Sukhothai Buddhas and Shan antiques, you can enjoy signature dishes like the French beef stew and seafood with Khmer tamarind sauce. […]
Azabu Sabo @ Central
An offshoot of the outlet serving the famous ice cream from Hokkaido, Azabu Sabo has some pretty good mains and desserts too—like the seafood salad, the various udons, red bean milk shake, green tea ice cream with dumplings and red bean paste, and our absolute favorite—hot-ball with butter sauce. Azabu Sabo proves that a nice […]
Coastes | Review
The Emerald Hill group certainly knows how to create chill-out places perfect for unwinding. Coastes’ two distinct sections consist of their new beach bar and a relaxed area above the deck, where you can enjoy a spot of privacy. Try the vegetarian pizza; Caesar salad; Justin’s favourite curry chicken; and Coastes’ famous grilled chicken wings. […]
Bumbu Restaurant
Simple and rustic, this shophouse eatery near Arab Street houses an eclectic mix of nostalgic antique furnishings. The food is Indonesian, Peranakan and Thai—try the tahu telor, fried fish with chili and beef rendang. The Bumbu salad’s combination of century eggs, onions, parsley, cashew nuts, lemon grass and fried spring onions may sound odd, but […]
O-AN Japanese Restaurant
Set up more than 20 years ago, this Japanese institution in the CBD is a fabulous choice for a business lunch. Previously known as “Nanten,” this little eatery has an all-round Japanese menu of sushi, sashimi, tempura and ramen—with the latter being the star. The ramen tonkotsu must be tried—think rich, flavorful soup, tasty soft-boiled […]
Din Tai Fung (Paragon)
Who doesn't love no-frills soup dumplings, noodles and fried rice?
Ricciotti Pizza Pasta & Deli @ China Square Central
Ricciotti has opened its second outlet here serving the same delicious Italian deli selections and pastries as its Riverwalk original. The homely interior makes a good setting, as does the display counter showcasing a wonderful array of stunning desserts. Try its gourmet sandwiches, bruschettas and pizzas. Also not to be missed are its fabulous desserts […]
Saffron Bistro
Tucked away from the Boat Quay crowds, this classy and quiet little hideaway is great for those who prefer a contemporary touch to their Indian cuisine. Prices at Saffron Bistro are very reasonable and recommended items include the tandoori chicken, cod fish masala and saffron lamb ribs.
Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant
Spectacular views and refined Szechuan cuisine are what you can expect here. Popular with corporate types and families, Si Chuan Dou Hua offers a fantastic array of dishes. In particular, the Eight Treasures seafood soup; diced chicken with chili; silver cod in sweet white wine sauce; and homemade fine bean curd with wolfberries come highly […]
Siem Reap II
More laidback than its sister restaurant IndoChine Waterfront Restaurant, Siem Reap II delivers an eclectic combination of dishes, and is a draw for its romantic atmosphere and scenic views of Boat Quay. Try the rice paper rolls, pho bo (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), beef burger and Laotian laksa.
